The Bad

Customers are mostly pleased with the Coach M and give it glowing reports, but there are some things potential buyers should know before buying. The first factor usually mentioned by people who pass up this machine is the price itself. It is somewhat more expensive than other rowers, so it won’t fit into every budget. The LCD-display’s glowing reports are mixed due to the sheer amount of information on the display. Some customers report that the display has so much information it can become overwhelming to keep up with during the course of a workout. A few customers have also mentioned the resistance as being a bit less than past Kettler rowers. This is offset by the fact that the resistance goes up to 10, so even if lower resistance doesn’t work for heavy workouts, it’s possible to crank it up and get the most out of the machine’s power.

The Verdict

Despite a comparatively high price tag, the Kettler Coach M rower gets an A from an overwhelming majority of customers. They love the amount of workout information displayed in a brilliant high resolution LCD display, the German workmanship that shines through in the product’s toughness, and the natural rowing motion made possible by excellent design work. The few complaints come from minor things like crowded information on the display and the price itself which isn’t affordable to everyone no matter what the quality of the machine.

This model continues to be wildly popular among those who love rowing machines. These simulate the fun of being out on the water while giving a remarkable workout that truly burns fat and inches thanks to its unique motion. The Kettler Coach M is highly recommended by customers who have the money to afford it, and the lifetime warranty on the frame is just icing on the cake for those who desire a rower that will stand the test of time and offer thousands of great workouts over the years. Kettler did this machine right, and if you can afford it then it’s well worth the price tag.
